For longer documents, I haven't written in raw html for quite some time. I use Markdown instead, and had assumed that most everyone (except maybe some web designers) uses some form of prettier markup for writing their longer content-heavy

Looks like the carpalx software (mentioned above) can be tuned to find you a layout that doesn't work the pinkies so much.

Interesting. Sounds like you run, step into, and then modify this big blob of binary data (from the inside!) until you've shaped it into what you want. Weird. :)

I think Bazaar would be more useful if they tightened up their docs to be more concise, while also splitting up the tutorial to have each of the pieces more closely focus on one particular way of working, for example: * you're working on a

This is pretty amazing news. Last I heard, I thought that UnladenSwallow was 2.x-only. Now it turns out that it's going into 3.x and there will be no 2.x Unladen. Wow. Really great news for Py3k.

I think "T"'s comments on the Python community are depressingly close to the truth. It is very easy to find pythonistas on python-list who are eager to tell you how wrong you are, or how you shouldn't even want to do <X> because i

I hate to say this, but if you actually have to ask the developer for some simple docs on something basic like this, that's a big red flag to me.

Why would he do that, given that Guile is GNU's flavor of Scheme?

I didn't understand that part of the post, but also don't know much of the history here. Was Genera + Dynamic Windows running on these so-called "Lisp Machines", or was it in competition with the Lisp Machines? And if Kent was such a big fa

In the article, the author seems to be switching their use of trailing slashes. At the top, (paraphrasing) it's rsync -arvuz /src/foo /dest/foo/ but at the bottom it's rsync -arvuz /src/foo/ /dest/foo Which is correct?

by garnet7 17y ago
Yes, I plan to (at some point), thanks, but it will probably take me a while until I get experienced enough at CL to be able to judge how concise it is.

by garnet7 17y ago
CL is concise? I hadn't heard it described that way. Now, I've certainly heard [Arc]( http://www.arclanguage.org/ ) described as concise.
